~ PyoIIS. April 9.-The ecclesiastical
.;II has heen fixed as the order OF the day
in the Unterhaus for April ~. Az re-
cont short conference the National
ihoraI leaders were disposed to assent
% the bill. after stating in the course OF
sohota that their acceptance would be
onditional on no further conces-
o,ors being made. During the
,,ooo+,on the controversy has be-
oor,a most bitter. The unceasing hostile
Iono,age of the Catholic press has caused
revuIsion in the pacific mood OF the
National Liberal and Conservative
~aners Instead of now discussing &C
rrontance OF the measure as passed by the
oberbaus. the National Liberals are dis
nosed TO reject the bill unless all OF Bishop
konp's amendments are stricken out.
In Difference TO Prince bismarck they
wul consent to the adoption OF tue
original bill. but Will not 20 step be-
Sond ON the other hand the Centre
Marty brings forward proposals, includ-
ING those which the committee OF the
Oberhaus refused to entertain.
HERR WINDTHORsT's ATTITUDE.
Herr Windthorst's reported submission
IN the vatican is only provisional. If the
conservative and National Liberal groups
onpose entire freedom OF so-called religious
orders, including the right OF tuition In
schools. the Centre Will MAINTAIN war.
As these very points find the bitterest OPP
u0sition the chances OF pacific settle
ment seem remote. Intense irritation
prevails on both sides. The Centrists
avoW their readiness to submit to the
puria, but maintain that Prince Bis
marck has OutWItted the vatican and
that Mgr. Galimoert's mission was
q failure The National Liberals consider
that Prince Bismarck has been grossly
deceived in trying TO dominate the Centre
marty through the Pope. The Cologne
Gazette OF yesterday predicts that Prince
Bismarck will be ready to 90 still further
IN making concessions, and will yield to
the demand of the CeutrIsts for all OF the
kopp proposals. While it is beyond
doubt that the opposition OF the Conser-
yatlves aud National Liberals will defeat
the combined Centrlsts and new German
Liberals and that the bill will be referred
to committee, 1t may require decisive
exercise Of the governments influence to
prevent Its rejection.
THE FISCAL PROPOSALS.
ration Tor the Reichstag are now known
to include new consumers tax on
brandy, sugar bill abolishIng the tax on
raw beet root material and substituting
tax on sugar Tor consumption. and also a
reformed BOurse tax. ii is believed that
tue proposals will be framed in conso-
nance with the fiscal policy of the Ma
tioual Liberal party. Not a whisper is
now heard in Ministerial organs suggest
i've of monOpolIes III brandy and tobacco.
THE ALLIANCE WITH ITALY.
Negotiations for the appointment of a
successor TO Herr Won KeudelI, as Ger
man Ambassador TO Italy, continue. 1t is
reported that Minister Won Putt1amer
has been in Rome inoognlto since Sunday
last and that he Will return tomorrow.
Count Herbert Bismarck is mentioned as
special envoy charged with the compile
ton of the Austro-GermaE-ltalian ALI
ance.
The Tageblatt publishes an interview
with Si%uOr CrIspi, the Italian Minister
OF the Interior, to the effect that the new
Italian Ministry is strongly i'll favor OF
the alliance. Signor Crispl said:
France, Notwithstanding its Democra-
cy, is ltaly's enemy. Those who talk
about Franoo-ltalian alliance are eth
or idiots or intriguers."

per0r aud his whole family attended a
